Show interchangeable temperature sensor node 10 with reference to Fig. 5,5A and 5B, illustrated therein is for monitoring and node The node 10 of the temperature of the part of the railcar that the housing 14 of 10 is spaced.For example, it may be desired to by monitoring bin or The temperature of chamber wall monitors the temperature of the goods being stored in bin or the temperature of container inside, but above-mentioned being used for is straight The node 10 receiving surface to be monitored is unaccommodated.Here it is considered that node 10 constructs in the same manner as described above, except temperature Degree sensor 20 is positioned at the detector 48 being spaced with housing 14.Temperature sensor 20 is positioned at and is electrically attached to housing via line 52 In the sensor detector head 50 of 14.50 are preferably had annular by what the heat conducting material of such as rustless steel etc was constituted The cylinder of head body 54.The temperature sensor 20 being electrically attached to electric connector 58a fits in a body opening 56.Have at center The toroidal magnet 60 of opening fits in around sensor 20 in 50.Thermally conductive epoxy resin or other Embedding Material being suitable for Magnet 60 and temperature sensor 20 are sealed in body 50, and guarantee the good Heat transmission for sensor 20.It is right to be connected to Temperature sensor 20 is connected to node shell 14 via line 52 by the corresponding electric power connector 58b of the adapter 58a answered, described The cable 62 of the most flexible coating PVC of line 52.In order to help to assemble this housing 14, it is provided that silicone gasket 64, metal fill Matching board 66 and housing silicon assembling packing ring 68.Node 10 monitors cargo temperature constantly, and is meeting such as fast temperature change, surpassing Give a warning during the specific criteria of excess temperature threshold value etc..
As this device and the example of the method installing this device, as in the fluid storage representing tank car railway carriage or compartment 38 Shown in Fig. 5 B of tank 70, there is the temperature nodes 10 of the detector 48 separated and can be used for monitoring be there is outer housing The temperature of the liquid 72 of storage in the tank 72 on tank car railway carriage or compartment 38 that the relatively thicker collet 74 of 80 covers.Here it is possible to To set 74 in cut diameter be about 2 " little opening 76, to allow detector head 50 to utilize thermally conductive epoxy resin to be attached to The clean outer surface 78 of bin 70.It is suitable that magnet 60 in 50 helps to make detector 48 be maintained at when epoxy resin cure When in position.The housing 14 of node 10 is assemblied on the outside of shroud 80, and connects to the end 50 via cable 62, if required Within words cable 62 can be coiled to fit in opening 76.In order to housing 14 being attached to shroud 80, silicone gasket 64 by against Shroud 80 and be placed on opening 76, followed by metal mounting plate 66, followed by silicone gasket 68, packing ring 64 and 68 ensure that housing 14 pairs of shrouds 80 good Weather sealed.Metal mounting plate 60 is by with screw or be bolted to shroud 80, and node Housing 14 is utilized screw 82 and screw is fixed to buck plate 66.The calibration of node circuit ensure that the liquid 72 in bin 70 Accurate temperature reading, and can use from another sensor 10 monitoring environment temperature to calculate accurate temperature read Number.
In order to transmit the data collected by node 10, each node and the CMU 32 being assemblied on railcar 38 carry out double To communication, CMU 32 collects the data from each node, and can send instruction to node, as shown in Figure 6.As aforementioned , each node 10 and CMU 32 being connected to identical railcar 38 defines local MANET shape network, in order to be beneficial to It is connected to the communication between each node 10 and CMU 32 of identical railcar 38.Word " telecommunication management as used herein Unit " or " CMU " meaning be to be able to receive that from the data of one or more nodes 10 and/or alarm can be to remotely reception Machine sends data and any device of warning information.CMU 32 preferably will act as to the communication link of other position (all Such as mobile base station 42 (such as locomotive engine 46), base station based on ground 44 etc.) individual unit, and have himself circuit, CPU, processor, memorizer, power supply etc. are for processing the data received.In a preferred embodiment, CMU 32 can also and ferrum On bus railway carriage or compartment 38, node 10 communicates, and controls and monitors node 10 on railcar 38.
CMU 32 can use the data collected from multiple nodes 10 to perform advanced data analysis, and can apply and opens Hairdo algorithm is reached a conclusion based on this analysis.Table below comprises the high-level of the corresponding heuritic approach in order to analytical data Description and the example of type of junction sensor 10.
As shown in Figure 6, CMU 32 also transmits data and alarm to remote location, described remote location or be positioned at train The mobile base station 42 of upper (typically in locomotive engine), or static, base station 44 based on ground, or both. Data and/or alarm can be forwarded to mobile base station 42 from base station 44 based on ground.CMU 32 can be permanent with mobile base station 42 Surely carrying out radio communication or wire communication, mobile base station 42 can be via cellular network, via satellite or via any quantity Other well-known mode communicate with base station 44 based on ground.
The data collected from node 10 can be sent to base station 44 for analyzing and further action.In upper table The heuritic approach illustrated can be performed by mobile base station 42 or base station based on ground 44.Additionally, station 42,44 all can utilize Train scope heuritic approach predicts fault or the trend of location train scope of train scope, and single CMU 32 may not Can utilize and be only from the data of single railcar 38 and do so.
When warning being detected, preferably warning is sent to the display in locomotive engine 46 or at base station based on ground 44 Unit.The display unit of any typical type that will be assemblied in mobile base station 42 (such as in locomotive engine) can be used.This In field, known communicator communicates with base station 44 via satellite, and display unit shows police to locomotive engine engineer Accuse.The warning come in can occur over the display, and with can audible alarm, this alarm must be by driver certifying and taking Disappear.Each type of warning with based on concrete railway network, when warning occurs, locomotive engine driver should take The behavior recommended.The action that locomotive engine driver is to be taked changes based on the seriousness alerted.Can also be via e-mail Send warning and maybe warning is published to website.
Locomotive engine alert threshold is set to time critical value and would potentially result in too much parking and delay.Therefore, select Alert message, so that only sending the message that can cause action, it means that the most only to locomotive engine work people to locomotive engine 46 Member sends those needs staff to take the Alert Level of action.Additionally, in addition to needs train stops on train-line, Some warnings can be processed by being properly positioned operation restriction.For example, it is possible to the Alert Level behaviour to train of layering Arrange speed to limit so that train will be allowed to proceed to side line or other suitable stop, thus allow other vehicle to exist Continue on train-line, and there is no delay or the cost of exception.But, still can monitor low level (rank 1/ at base station 44 Stage 1) warning, although tiring out to make the trend event about would indicate that the most urgent but imminent problem and/or temperature The determination violated.
As operation example, it is considered to the monitoring to wheel bearing.Target is the bearing in monitoring operating, therefore works as railcar The data collected when railway carriage or compartment 38 is inoperative are nonsensical to the situation determining bearing.Information is not provided in order to save power restriction Temperature information, can suppress data when railcar does not moves.Therefore, during data are merely stored in CMU 32 and be found to have use Base station 42,44 is transmitted data to during data.Three kinds of situations of definable " concern " or " useful " data include:
1. " difference situation " event;
2. " projecting situation " event;And
3. " node temperature is abnormal ".
When difference at any axletree two ends is more than or equal to particular variables, existDifference situationEvent.
When any bearing temperature ratio is when exceeding particular constant from the value of environment temperature node report, occurProjecting situation Event.
Although when but other passage collects data the time period bearing that have passed through correspondence or around the most well When any data channel does not report effective temperature, occurNode temperature is abnormal.Postpone permission system and have from possible communication wrong The chance by mistake recovered.Even if should have collected complete data set and one or more passage losing data, CMU 32 Also collect continuing and preserve the temperature from other bearing.
Record stop before by see all temperature datas converge to around (train stops) confirm that data press down System.The temperature dissipated shows that bearing generates heat the most again and train has started to mobile.
The alarm of classification and responseThese are alarm and the example of suitable response of various rank based on seriousness:
First stage: " Bearing Temperature Alarm "
-is only reported to the police in base station
-recommend and recidivist's identification for trend
Second stage: " axletree difference alarm ": be any bearing situation of scheduled volume hotter than its axle mate.
-action: make train stop, checks the axle journal of warning bearing.Search this bearing just " leaving " axletree, lubricating oil just by Any sign that cleaning or this bearing have been damaged.
-advance with the maximal rate of predetermined reduction, until receiving second stage in locomotive engine end, " alarm is clear Remove " message.
If-receive second stage " alarm removing " message in locomotive engine end, the most normally advance.
Phase III: " projecting alarm ": be when any bearing is in the temperature than the highest scheduled volume.
-action: make train stop, checks the axle journal of warning bearing.Search this bearing just " leaving " axletree, lubricating oil just by Any sign that cleaning or this bearing have been damaged.
-advance with the maximal rate of predetermined reduction, until receiving the phase III in locomotive engine end, " alarm is clear Remove " message, can improve speed at this point.
If-alert message is not removed, then can select shed in suitable anchor point and change bearing, otherwise need fall Low velocity reduces arachnoid axle journal or the probability of catastrophic bearing fault.
If-receive second stage and phase III " alarm removing " message in locomotive engine end, the most normally Advance.
Fourth stage: " critical alarm ": this is the absolute system arranged at predetermined bearing temperature.
-action: make train stop, shed bearing.
Advanced algorithm: the improvement to alarm can be carried out based on the statistical model of bearing temperature performance.Lower part is detailed Carefully describing the example to the improvement that available data is analyzed, described data analysis is to be in about identification to process for demoting/become Bearing on " audit listing " of gesture situation.
The algorithm of second level: the algorithm of second level uses when railcar is being close in before this analysis one period of day When moving during the phase, at the temperature data of collection per minute.In for identical bearing following five standard at least Four labeled time, can send to user and alert with scheduling for the maintenance of this bearing.
